!±8± How Does a SIDS Monitor Work?

It came as a shock to me when I first heard of the condition called SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This is a condition wherein an infant suddenly dies from unexplainable reasons. To this date, experts still could not fathom the real cause of such a condition.

The only thing parents can do is to arm themselves with things that can prevent this thing from happening. One good way to do this is to use SIDS monitor. These are baby monitors that can let parents see and hear and basically monitor the activities of their baby even at a remote distance. This way, parents can still do their daily activities whilst monitoring their child.

Usually, they come in a complete kit. The basic ones are the audio monitors. You place a transmitter in your child's room and you carry with you a receiver. You can hear sounds coming from your baby's room through the receiver. There are a couple of spiffy functions integrated in this such as a lullaby player, nightlights and a talk back function that makes life more convenient.

There is also the video monitor. Apart from the features mentioned above, this one has a camera in its transmitter and a small TV screen in its receiver. This lets you see what is happening with your baby. These also have good features such as a pan and tilt camera that can let you scan the whole room remotely.

But one feature that can really put worries at ease is the sensor pad. This pad is placed under the mattress of your baby. This will detect every motion of your baby even their breathing pattern. If after 20 seconds, no movement, not even a slight breathing sound is detected, it sends off an alarm to the receiver you are using. This can really help prevent SIDS.

According to those who have tried using this gadget, the brands sold today are pretty much reliable. Companies have really put a lot of effort in making their products durable and reliable. It really helped them hugely in monitoring their baby.

If you are worried about this syndrome afflicting your child, why not settle those doubts and worries by finding a good SIDS monitor? Pick one with a reliable motion sensor. This way, you do not always have to be on the edge of your seat in monitoring your baby's needs and health condition.
